Access all BIOS settings on ProBook 430 G1

[Brad_Morris]

I have just purchased a ProBook 430 G1 and installed Windows 8.1 Pro.  I went to enable Hyper-V but it tells me I do not have virtualization enabled in bios.  I boot the laptop and access the bios.  It asks if I want to log in as guest, I select no and then enter the details with one of the windows account that it detects.  But I still cannot change most of the settings.  All the options are greyed out.  Including enabling virtualization.

What am I doing wrong?  How do I get access to enable virtualization?

Thanks,

Brad.

Hello Brad,

1: Please restart the unit and keep tapping f10 to boot into BIOS. In BIOS, please follow this path and set up Admin password:
Security >> Setup BIOS Administrator Password >> After Setting up the password, Exit the BIOS
2: Restart the unit and boot into BIOS once again and make these changes to enable Hyper-V:

Advanced >> Device Configuration >> Disable (Uncheck) "Data Execution Prevention" >> Enable (Check) "Virtualization technology" >> Save the changes by pressing F10 and Exit the BIOS
